here a new kit from austria:

2400Watt max
3,1kg weight of motor+controller




nice Video: YouTube - EGO-Kits Productfilm HD
at the end of the video, you see, that the bike is not that heavy ;)
battery in the rucksack, so you can have a real light bike, good for handling
weight: depens on your cycle, but 15kg is for sure possible

another Bike-Porn:

YouTube - Corratec eBow 2011

YouTube - Eurobike-Interview mit Florian Meier von Corratec


1200Watt Motor (1500Watt Peak)
48V 13Ah Battery (!)
carbon frame, very good fork, good brakes, ...
11gang geared hub
15kg light (!!) (nearly half the weight of an opti-bike ;)

question in my eyes: if the alvin 11-gear-hub will hold up with that amount of power (?)
i contacted the distributor. short story is that this corratec is vapourware for the moment.

so ill stick with my "real" optibike with a proven support network and where issues and problems can be group managed and where people speak actual english
